Swatch will launch contactless payment watches

On Monday, Swatch Group AG announced that it will be rolling out a new "pay-by-the-wrist" watch in partnership with Visa Inc. and Visa Europe in the U.S., Switzerland and Brazil starting in early January 2016. Called the Swatch Bellamy, it will allow Visa cardholders from those countries to pay for transactions anywhere contactless, NFC-based Visa payments are accepted. (The payments won't affect the battery life of the watches.) Otherwise, it functions as a traditional watch — meaning it won't have the attributes or the capabilities of, say, an Apple Watch.
